Can someone help me with appraising this large painting. it is on cloth inside of a picture frame and in good condition. It is a Traditional Balinese Painting.
you probably already know it depicts war on top, the lower cells are negotiations and peace. I have a huge one from an old temple I know little of but it is the same story of greed. Two brothers at war over land with the same ending. Made on that old type paper and dipped in a water/starch solution. All I know but I to want more knowledge. The unfortunate side of this is that these are being made for tourists so unless it is authenticated by a brain I fear little value.
